Hi, All,

Any dust deposit experts lurking, Stephen Burt and others?
I've put some pics on the website, p 5 recent pictures, of some
sandy-type deposits that I observed at obs time this morninmg. I
noticed lots of dust on swmbo's car at 06Z but thought that was just
blown, raised dust. On reflection, though, the ground is damp after a
wet weekend. There has been light drizzle overnight and only trace in
the raingauge over the 24hr 09Z - 09Z.

Wind direction has been between N and E for the past few days - hardly
a dust deposit direction, surely? The wind was quite strong yesterday.

Any ideas anyone?

Best wishes,

Ken

Ken,

If you look at the following image (maybe needs registration - but free)
there appears to be a lot of dust over the western North Sea, clearly
visible to the NE of the cloud sheet:

The large bank of fog over and north of the Shetland Islands is also a
notable feature of the image.
